Exploratory Series Dos Padres

Most aged tequilas are aged in barrels previously used to age bourbon, imparting vanilla, and oak notes.  We rarely see other spirits aged in tequila casks, and in Doc Swinson’s tradition of seeking out unique flavors, we thought we’d give it a shot   We chose some exceptional casks that had previously been used to age extra Anejo tequila before finishing our Blender’s Cut straight bourbon whiskey in them.  As a result, we discovered notes of melon, tangerine, oak, white pepper, and soft leather that made for a complex, yet approachable, pour.

Sensory Notes:

Agave syrup, vanilla cream, and leather

Bright citrus, pepper, vanilla, and caramel with agave syrup in the finish

 A unique finish that lingers on the palate long after you sip it.  The finish really lengthens the bourbon and adds to the sweet and spicy notes that are already present.
